How it's worked out

  • High business fit and high technical fit = Invest; high business, low technical = Migrate; low business, high technical = Tolerate; both low = Eliminate
  • Midpoint 3 on a 1 to 5 scale
NoteFit scores of 3 or more count as high. Refresh the scores at each annual planning cycle and track run cost moving out of Eliminate.
